  I note also, that at the end of book 4, the look that Harry and
  Snape exchange seems to bode a change in how Snape sees Harry, and I
  think on some level it is because of this shared "beyond the
  trivial" experience. Snape is coming, for the first time, to see
  Harry as Harry and not a mass of old associations. Harry is seeing
  Snape as something besides a cantankerous teacher. Their prior
  relationship is trivial in the face of what they now face, and on
  some level they both know it. And I think they will both carry it
  on, hating each other, if for no other reason than normality.

I've thought a lot about that look too!  I wondered if might not be the 
opening of a new relationship between them.  My thoughts went along 
these lines...Snape went back to LV, convinced him he was a DE still.  At 
that time he heard from LV, Wormtail or another DE about Harry's 
bravery.  Perhaps finally Snape is seeing Harry as something other than "a 
nasty little boy who thinks rules are beneath him"...perhaps for the first time  
he recalls that his is Lily's son too.  Because for no reason at all, (and 
you've probably already discussed this, I'm a new lurker) I always felt that 
Snape and Lily had some special connection.  And along these lines, I've 
always waited for Snape to say to Harry "you have your mother's eyes" 
and probably die straight afterwards.  Snape usually mentions James in his 
I loathe you rants to Harry - but never Lily.
